Evidence & documents
Approve evidence or return it for changes
Review the exact artifact version and explicitly decide which requirements it satisfies.
Before you start
Who this is for: Authorized evidence reviewers who meet the workflow's independence rules.
- Read the submitted artifact and request instructions.
- You cannot approve evidence you submitted where independent review is required.
Follow these steps
Open the submitted version
Follow the request's evidence link and check its version number. Inspect the file, link, or text, its validity dates, and the requested population and period. Read prior feedback and verify that the artifact addresses the actual requirement.
Decide on artifact quality
Use Approve when the version is suitable and you are eligible to review it. Use Reject with clear feedback when changes are needed. Explain the concrete missing information or correction so the contributor can prepare an appropriate replacement.
Review requirement acceptance
Where the combined review action is offered, select only the Requirements to accept that this exact version supports. Choose Approve and accept selected or Accept selected requirements, inspect the confirmation list, and then Confirm selected decisions. This action is not offered for every request type.
Verify both decisions
Reopen the artifact and request after saving. Check artifact approval and requirement acceptance separately. If only part of a combined operation succeeds, read the displayed result and current decisions before retrying. Do not infer that every linked request was accepted.
What you should see
The artifact and any selected requirements carry explicit review decisions, or the contributor receives actionable rejection feedback.
If something doesn’t look right
Approve is disabled because you submitted the evidence
Ask another authorized reviewer to make the decision. Assignment or ownership does not remove the independence rule.
The combined review action is absent
Check the request type, version, status, and your permission. Use the available artifact or request-specific review flow.
The artifact is unavailable for publication
Check expiration, withdrawal, and file availability or scan status. Approval alone does not override those conditions.
